Torok Golo Village in Rana Mese District, East Manggarai, is an agrarian area with significant agricultural potential but faces various structural challenges, such as limited access to agricultural technology, weak farmer institutions, and low community participation in village development planning processes. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a community-based farmer empowerment program in the area. A qualitative approach was used with a descriptive-qualitative research design. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and documentation involving local actors, including farmers, extension workers, village officials, and program facilitators. Data analysis followed the interactive model of Miles and Huberman, which includes data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The results show that the empowerment program has enhanced farmers' capacities in production and group collaboration, and there has been active community participation during the implementation phase. However, participation in the planning and evaluation stages remains suboptimal, and the institutional structure of farmer groups still requires strengthening. Other weaknesses include limited market access and low utilization of modern agricultural technologies. The study concludes that program effectiveness heavily depends on sustained community participation across all stages and structural support from the government and assisting institutions. Future research is recommended to explore technology-based empowerment models combined with the strengthening of local institutions to better adapt to the needs of rural communities in remote areas.

The issue of fairness in regional development in Indonesia remains a significant challenge, particularly concerning the disparities between urban and rural areas, Java and outside Java, as well as between the western and eastern regions of Indonesia. This imbalance reflects an uneven distribution of investments influenced by the national political-economic structure. The sectoral development approach has been deemed inadequate in addressing these disparities, making the regional-based approach an alternative option to prioritize development in accordance with local potential. Several regional growth theories, such as the export base theory, resource advantage theory, and neoclassical approach, assert that a region's economic growth heavily depends on the availability of natural resources, labor, capital, and technological innovation. The primary indicator for assessing growth and economic well-being in society is Gross Domestic Product (GDP) The increase in GDP accompanied by a decrease in the unemployment rate serves as an indicator of successful development. Therefore, the strengthening of regional development needs to be accompanied by equitable investment strategies and approaches that are appropriate to local characteristics so that the growth achieved can be inclusive and fair.

Industrialization plays a critical role in the process of economic development, particularly in shaping a stronger and more competitive economic structure. For Indonesia, an industrialization strategy is not merely a tool for boosting economic growth, but a key instrument for promoting long-term structural transformation. This article discusses how industrialization strategies should be designed holistically, taking into account not only the manufacturing sector but also the interconnections with agriculture and services. Within the national development framework, the state must take an active role by implementing fiscal policies, providing infrastructure support, and offering incentives for value-added industries. Lessons from newly industrialized countries show that the success of industrialization is highly dependent on consistent policy coordination, strong leadership, and robust institutional capacity. Furthermore, industrial strategies must be responsive to global challenges such as technological change, international competition, and regional disparities. Therefore, industrial development planning in Indonesia should be oriented towards achieving economic efficiency, strengthening domestic production capabilities, generating broad employment opportunities, and ensuring equitable distribution of development benefits. This paper aims to provide a conceptual foundation for formulating a national industrialization strategy that is not only responsive to global trends but also capable of addressing domestic needs in an inclusive and sustainable manner.

Results: All participants received midwife visits. 20 (90%) chose LTCMs, while 10 (10%) opted for short-term methods. Statistical analysis revealed a significant relationship between midwife visits and LTCM choice (p = 0.000). Conclusion: Midwife visits significantly influence women’s choice of LTCMs, improving knowledge and decision-making. Strengthening midwife outreach can increase LTCM uptake and enhance family planning strategies.

Candikusuma Beach in Bali has experienced significant erosion since 2009, threatening public facilities, including a mosque in Candikusuma village. This issue is critical as it affects a coastal fishing community. To mitigate the erosion, a revetment structure using concrete block armor is proposed. This revetment aims to protect the coastal cliff from wave forces and prevent further erosion. The planning process begins with analyzing bathymetric and topographic data to assess land and sea conditions. Tidal analysis determines key water elevations, while wind data is used to calculate maximum and average wind speeds and directions. Wave hindcasting, based on wind data and effective fetch length, provides estimates of wave height and period. Shoreline changes are evaluated by comparing satellite imagery from 2003 and bathymetric surveys from 2012, revealing an average shoreline retreat of 21.70 meters over nine years. The design of the revetment includes a crest elevation of +3.70 meters MSL, constructed on a base at -0.5 meters MSL. The concrete foundation extends to a depth of -1.5 meters MSL. Hindcasting results show maximum wave heights of 1.21 to 1.50 meters from the southwest, with an average wave height of 0.01 to 0.30 meters from the south. The design wave height for a 25-year return period is 1.37 meters with a period of 4.58 seconds, resulting in a wave height of 1.31 meters at a depth of 2 meters. The estimated budget for the 200-meter-long revetment is Rp. 7,778,174,000.
